What are secured loans?
Secured loans require the borrower to provide some form of security for the lender. In the case of all our lenders this will be your house. Secured loans are sometimes known as second mortgages as they become a second charge on your house behind your existing mortgage (your first charge).
How long does it take to get a decision?
If you call us right now, we will give you an immediate “in principle” decision and will aim to send out your loan offer today. You will be under no obligation until the loan completes.
How much time will it take to process my secured loan?
It can vary from loan to loan and from lender to lender, but we’ll always keep you informed with an up-to-date estimate. We aim to complete your secured loan in just 2 weeks.
I jointly own my property with my partner. Do I need to complete a joint secured loan application?
Yes, if you jointly own your house then you will need to make a joint application as you both have an interest in the property. You will both need to sign all the relevant forms and legal documents.
